The 1970s were a revolutionary time in film history, with studios giving artists more creative control to capture the imagination of a radically changing audience. That was certainly felt in science fiction as cinema is ready to push boundaries with the genre in ways that still give us OCLLs today.
These are 1970s sci-fi films that are still appalling.
9. Orange clock work
Based on the controversial novel by Anthony Burgess, Orange clock work Focusing on the horrific crimes of the leader of the youth gang Alex, whose life revolves around his love of superiority, and the nightmare tragedy of his attempt to reform by an authoritarian hyper-foral society through a horrific experiment.
Orange clock work is a solid literary adjustment that serves style and intimidation. And none of the performers are as stylish or scary as Malcolm McDowell, whose performance confirmed Alex with one of the biggest characters in the history of the silver screen.
Famous Stanley Kubrick’s film is sure to turn some viewers away – we even talked about his director contributing to banning the film in a previous video – but those with the stomach about him will be rewarded with a non -GLIM classic.
8. Mad Max
Crazy Max A future story in Australia presents the land down as a bleak hell where oil shortages have brought humanity to a self-autoclum bin.
A cop played by Mel Gibson in his retiring role is all that stands between the troubled chaos and the everyday men and women who want to live peaceful lives alone. Unfortunately, peace is not in the cards for Max Rockatansky, a family man who must become a road warrior after violence visited his doorstep.
Gibson’s performance gives the most roaring emotions and remarkable inner depths. It’s a free canon of going away, and once it does, it’s a hunting season on Biker Punks. Come for the car persecution, wait for the carnage.
7. Run logging
Run logging Includes a futuristic world where humanity gets a party like no tomorrow. However, there actually is No tomorrow for those who turn 30 and are required to turn themselves in for carousel, a process that kills them in secret. Sandmen hunt those who try to escape by fleeing from the city, but when one of them is tasked with finding a runner sanctuary, his life will never be the same.
Run logging excels with his scary default. The story taps to our ancient fear of aging while also showing the dangers of running an automated society in a computer. From evil to apocalyptic anxiety, this half -century film has not lost any of its relevance.
You owe yourself to watch Run logging before you have a visit from the sand men.
6. Phantasm
Phantasm In psychedelic phantasmagoria of strange ideas that are much like a living nightmare than anything we can call “reality.”
The sci-fi Part of the story includes a tall mysterious man in a mortuary that turns bodies into shrinking minions for his planet alien home. If anyone messes with him, he sends his armed flying balls to drill a hole in their head. We said this is strange, right?
Phantasm Admittedly, it is difficult to explain, and if one of the tall man who has broken the tall man who turns into an angry insect is not convincing you how strange this film is, the attack of half -size human beings and hers will definitely.
Overcoming the deodorant reviews of judges at the time, Phantasm Gone on to become one of Horror’s most beloved franchises, with Angus Scrimm returning as the tall man for each of the five films. Leave a logic at the door and be swept away in an eerie unreality Phantasm.
5. The invasion of the ciper body
Rabies Grifters on -lein complains of an endless repeat as if they had not existed since the start of the film industry. One of the best re -making hits the screens in 1978: The invasion of the ciper body.
Even if you have never seen the original 1956 or its alternate, it is easy to swallow the essentials of the plot: alien Overcome the Earth by replacing human beings with non -posion duplication. The custody is that the human beings have to be sleeping for the process to work, a simple turn that turns all jaws into a dramatic tension.
Donald Sutherland leads the cast of famous Sci-Fi stars, including Veronica Cartwright, Jeff GoldblumAnd Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy. Our heroes are trying to reveal the mysteries of the Pod people, but soon that goes back to try to survive another night.
The invasion of the ciper body Treated as a very serious story where the poles are life and death to the whole human race. That’s refreshing compared to modern films waking up in the audience every twenty minutes with a joke that defines tension. The result is one of the most impressive remake ever and remains vigilant for any sci-fi fan or horror today.
4. Westworld
Before HBO’s award -winning series even a dream, author Michael Crichton made the jump to the silver screen in 1973 with WestworldA classic sci-fi story advanced theme park that becomes a death trap for their guests.
Two friends have the time of their lives in the Wild West simulation, when they slowly realize that the robots kill human beings, leading to a gun gun duel that is far too real. It’s a slow burn, but it’s worth it to Yul Brenner’s performance like the robotic gunslinger, an iconic horror villain that can’t be stopped to pursue borderline justice. Before the T-1000, before Jason, before Michael Myers, the Gunslinger was the original force that cannot be stopped.
3. Green slyl
While the bleak future depicted in 1973’s Green slyl Now behind us in 2025, its narrative about society is disrepair as human rights are continually stored by the control class is nightmares and it still rotates depressed.
By the year 2022, the world’s population has been subjected to a class that manages elites as resources such as food, housing and water become increasingly unsustainable. Ordinary citizens have no choice but to eat synthetic products called Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow while their oppressors have access to natural foods and plenty of other luxuries behind closed doors.
NYPD Detective Robert Thorn finds himself living in a dystopian nightmare while being tasked with investigating the murder of a rich executive of the Soylent Corporation, while the general population is introduced to a new food source derived from Plancton called Soylent Green.
Slow burning mystery of the highest rank, Green slyl produces his intimidation through his serious prophetic picture, claustrophobic and eerie of society in pig’s feet. This allows Charlton Heston to achieve one of the most iconic lines in the history of science fiction (sorry, Planet the apes).
Green slyl Is it not just a bona videos classic. It is a warning of social woe that is more common than ever in this day and age. If you are looking for a waking call, this is it.
2. Alien
Mixing sci-fi and horror masterfully in ways that no one had seen before, Alien Exercise di -aid in the suspense and paranoia as some unknown, extraterrestrial antagonist claims its subjects one by one.
When crews are on board the Boat Instructed by their computer to investigate a potential source of intelligent life in a deep space, they get more than they bargain for after a species of unknown origin followed on the ship. Initially, intending to study the form of life, their research is immediately derived when they learn that they are home to a hostile creature that clicks on faces, bleeds acid, and intends to use their bodies to multiply the species.
The cramped corridors of the Boat alone doing Alien Masterclass in claustrophobic tension and suspension, but we need to talk about the titular antagonist himself. He is slim, refractory, has a mouth inside his mouth, and he is a complete nightmare fuel even by today Alien after release. And, of course, Ripley Sigourney Weaver redefined the genre’s idea of a ball heroine with nothing to lose in her battle for survival.
A few movies that combine horror and sci-fi as good as this, and Alien Crawling under your skin, but only before bursting out of your chest. This is a classic for a reason.
1. The nest
Taking a more personal attitude towards sci-fi and body horror, David Cronenberg’s The nest A battle in custody wrapped in psychoplasmic trauma that will finally keep you awake for days.
Frank Carveth’s mentally disturbed ex-wife, Nola, receives an experimental and controversial psychotherapy regimen in allocation under the care of Dr. Hal Raglan, suspicious suspicious. Having a reason to believe that his 5-year-old daughter is abused by her mother, our main character fights for the only custody, but does not have the resources to become the main carer and legal guardian. As Nola’s treatment intensifies, a series of violent murders that include those close to Frank occur, all more cruel and strange than the latter.
Thanks to Cronenberg’s willingness to use the horror of the body as a vehicle to explore oppressed emotional trauma, The nest Channels his fury into a literal grotesque abomination, leading to a third-act disclosure that is almost too much to his stomach. And don’t start us on the eerie-like-hell figures ever present, but just out of the frame whenever every hell breaks free.
Cementing David Cronenberg’s legacy as one of the horror of the early body horror, The nest It doesn’t just go under your skin. It grows there as an infection.
